Their first show together in over four decades, Family will bring back the nostalgic sights and sounds of folk, psychedelia, acid, jazz fusion and rock'n'roll that made them one of the most pioneering bands of the underground progressive scene in the late '60s and early '70s.

Having played prestigious London venues including the Royal Albert Hall, The 100 Club and The Marquee, this one-off show is set to be something special, playing songs from a career spanning, seven studio albums.

Roger Chapman said: "This is something that I've considered, and been constantly asked about, over the years. It's always been a question of timing. 2013 marks the 40th year since we did our last show - and we ain't getting any younger!"

A progressive rock band from the late 60s and early 70s, their style also incorporated elements of folk, psychedelia, acid, jazz fusion and rock and roll. The band were known for their raw, intense performances.

Roger Chapman, John 'Poli' Palmer, Rob Townsend and Jim Cregan reunited in 2013, playing their first shows in 40 years.

Modern jazz saxophonist Rob Townsend has spent much of his recent time touring with iconic prog-rock guitarist Steve Hackett. He also plays and records with acid-jazz Hammond legend James Taylor. Over the years Rob has performed with many great names in British jazz such as Django Bates, Iain Ballamy and Mark Lockheart as well as with USA legends such as Sam Rivers and Eddie Henderson. He is an acclaimed jazz teacher, co-leading the excellent degree jazz programme at Middlesex University in London.
